One of our regular readers Nick Frisch sent this in from New York:

Spotted on the M60 bus in Harlem, Manhattan: a local lady wearing the sort of PLA (People’s Liberation Army) overcoat 军大衣 typically worn during winter in northern China.

Close-up shot reveals the telltale “8-1/八一” star logo buttons.

Individual in question had no idea of the overcoat’s provenance, besides that it was given to her at the Metropolitan Hospital Center in East Harlem.

“It’s warm,” she said.
